John, a man haunted by a forgotten past, is thrust into the role of lawkeeper in a chaotic border town. Struggling with his own inadequacies, he must impose order on a community that thrives on disorder. As he fights to stabilize the town, John encounters formidable hidden adversaries intent on plunging it into lawlessness. With the help of a washed-up former soldier, an overwhelmed Deputy, and a brilliant yet unstable artificer, John faces a daunting challenge: to protect the town and confront his past demons. In a race against time, John must adapt to this rapidly evolving world or risk becoming a relic of the past.
